News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Why hire people you don't trust to do the job? Why not evaluate them on their results and timeliness instead of staring over their shoulder? Do they have no other way of justifying their jobs?
It's not about that; it's about middle management's feels.
FTFY

Don't worry, piglet's VERY clever https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aMxcAaR0oHU
AI is a nice tool, but it is by no means advanced enough to replace humans.
In other words: "We need to justify all the offices the state owns and the numerous middle managers who have proved to be useless during the remote work era."
Or, possibly more accurately: "We need to do something for our rich ~~masters~~ donors who are losing money on their commercial property investments."
My company currently has a 100% telework option, even allowing living wherever the hell you want. They've found a direct correlation between how many days people come in the office and how long people stay at the company before leaving. They've also found an absolutely huge disparity between the attrition rate of people hired before and after COVID. Since my company's entire purpose is to be the repository of scientific knowledge for the Air/Space Force, keeping people around is key to our success.
That said, I think it might be an overcorrection that could be better addressed with better mentoring and social integration of remote workers, but we don't have time to figure out new ways of doing business if people keep leaving before we figure it out.
I work for a similar company. It's been remote only for years because they realize that a larger talent pool is better. Most people have also been here for over a decade at this point.
They only have a B&M office because the executive assistant doesn't want to work from home.
